Feta is a fresh cheese whose curd is preserved in a salt brine, which gives it a characteristic flavor and a specific texture. Originally created in Romania, Feta is now best known as a Greek cheese. However, this staple is made all around the Mediterranean, including in southern France. Valbreso Feta is made from sheep's milk that is left over from the production of Roquefort, the famous French blue cheese. While typically eaten as a table cheese around the Mediterranean, in the USA it is most often added to mixed salads, and best appreciated in the summer.

I am of Greek heritage and, of course, feta cheese is a staple in my home.....but until you try the feta made of the milk of the sheep who graze in the Valbreso area in France, you have no idea how GOOD feta can be!!!! The cheese is smooth and creamy and luscious!! It is addictive though!!! igourmet has the very best price and, as always, the best quality, freshness, and great customer service!! I wouldn't consider buying from anyone but igourmet!!!!

Valbreso Feta

Being that I'm allergic to cow and everything from it, I was excited to be able to order something that was made from sheep or goat milk. When it arrived, I immediately opened it and tried it. YUM!! Then I read that it could contain cows milk. I waited and had no reaction, THANK GOD!!!

Valbreso Feta review

Recently my two local groceries stopped carrying Valbreso Feta and when I turned to the Internet I was very happy to find that igourmet.com carried my favorite feta cheese. The cheese arrived well packaged individually and the shipping package was also well done with an interior cooling mechanism keeping the cheese nicely temperate inside the box. Thank you!

Oh so THAT is what real feta tastes like!

My fiance loves feta, while I have never been a fan. But I found out recently that most of our American feta is made from cows milk and tastes nothing like the real thing. So we ordered this in order to find out.
We are both converted. This is delicious. Neither of us will waste our time with cow's-milk feta again.

French Feta

Do yourself a favor and disregard any negative review. I can assure you this is one of the best Feta's is the world. Sounds like the begative reviews come from people who have eaten too much cows milk feta which really is inedible. There are many other great feta's but none wih the creaminess of the Valbreso feta.

French Feta

Love Roquefort, so I wanted to try this feta from the same producers. Very good - not extra salty like the hum-drum feta you get in stores. I put it in spinach salads and baked tomatoes and now we're out! Will reorder.

valbreso feta

I was disappointed with this cheese, I did not get a feta feel or taste from it.
